Northbrook Annual Awards
A large, appreciative audience at the Club's Presentation Evening on 6 February joined Club Chairman Bob Adams in congratulating members for their achievements over the past year. As well as recognising running successes both on and off road, several more unusual achievements were also marked with appropriate awards, including the Animal of the Year Award. This year's innovations included the Compass Award, the Wellie Award and the Pudding Award.

The Paul Kelly trophy for the most appearances in Club races over the year was presented for the first time this year, the inaugaural winner Mark Baker receiving the award from Amanda Deavy.
Craig McNaney and the Shuffles entertained with live music, while guest appearances from Mr Wonderwall Baker had the audience in thrall, especially to his Why, why, why Delilah. See awards list ...

Northbrook Road Race Champs
It was a nail-biting finish to the 2009 Northbrook RR Champs,
with John Hosie and Howard Andersen battling it out for
top honours right to the finish, Hosie leading Andersen by just one
point. Andersen took the honours though at the top of the Male
Vets table.
In the senior ladies' table Rebecca Smith's 5 perfect scores gave
her an unassailable lead over 2nd placed Alix Critchley. Smith's
Vet category results (she achieved Vet
status part way through the year) gave her the double of top place
in the Vet ladies table.
